I have a Kenwood 440SAT which is failing...

Any suggestions?


How is the 440SAT failing? Any chance of repairing it or selling it as-is?

To which I should have added:
Taking the tuner out of the radio and making it work as a stand-alone
tuner might be interesting but more likely a huge effort. You should
first get the manuals and schematics for the radio and the stand alone
Kenwood tuner and see what ends up where between the built-in and
stand-alone versions. If you can fix the radio then you have a radio
with a built-in tuner. If you sell the radio as-is you might have
enough to buy a new auto-tuner like an LDG,

make it work as a stand-alone version you should write an article about it.
